Tachikawa Ki-94-I
Heavy FighterVII&nbsptier1

Pilot

Project for a high-speed fighter with heavy armament. A wooden mock-up was built by October 1943. However, the concept of the Ki-94-I was judged by the Japanese Army Air Force as too unconventional. The Tachikawa company was tasked to build an aircraft with a more conventional design. As a result, the Ki-94-II was created.

Powerful large-caliber armament effective against aircraft with high survivability

Good survivability, but large dimensions and vulnerable engines

High airspeed, long-lasting boost

Ineffective in maneuvering combat

Effective in mid-altitude combat and in destroying small amounts of ground targets
